The lake is lovely, and Laura enjoyed herself
then after a couple of hours, we headed off to a pub, but they were shut, so went to Sainsburys and got some more cider and rum and are chillaxing in the sunshine.
The next day, we went to Ravenglass and went on the miniature railway to Eskdale
Then followed by a drive over the hills to Coniston Water, inflated the canoe again, and went for another paddle
This is another really nice area to paddle, apart from the odd fat git in an inflatable...
I heard what sounded like a motorboat coming up behind me, but it got louder and louder, and I glanced back to see what looked like a Hercules aircraft at about 30-50 foot above the water. Unfortunately, I didn't get my camera out quick enough, so I only got a shot of it disappearing into the distance.
